The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1665

"Should we ask Mrs. Collins to send over a picture, just to be sure?" Steward suggested just in case.

There had been something about the girl that reminded him of Sean—perhaps it was a certain swagger, or a touch of arrogance.

Seeing her face tonight only reinforced his hunch—"She's got to be Sean's sister."

A picture?

When Sean's sister came home, Louisa had called Sean to let him know. She mentioned that his sister was back, but as for what she looked like or what her character was like, well, he'd have to see for himself.

But Sean, tied up with one thing or another, and true to his character, hadn't made the trip back home.

Now, he pulled out his phone and shot off messages to Hans, Chase, Clark, and David, asking them the same question: What does sis look like?

Replies soon popped up on his screen.

Hans: [Don't even know where to start.]

His sister was stunning—a natural beauty with a grace that made her stand out in the simplest of ways. From her eyes, nose to her lips, she was flawlessness incarnate, and her demeanor and style were something you could talk about for days without exaggeration.

Chase: [It's complicated.]

It was tough to sum up her beauty in a few words. She had the ethereal glow of moonlight, the delicate allure of a blossoming flower, and the pristine clarity of a mountain spring. Just one glimpse of her in a crowd was enough to take your breath away.

Clark: [It's hard to put into words; you'd know if you see her.]

"Yes." Steward perked up, thinking that if the young girl wasn't Sean's sister, then he could proceed without worry.

"But who's this person that's got you so riled up? A girl? I'm quite intrigued to know who could get under Sean's skin."

Ignoring David's nosiness, Sean went back to sipping his red wine.

Meanwhile, Ophelia was having a blast with Arabella, eating and drinking merrily when her phone rang. It was those friends again.

"They were asking about you again, intending to take you out for a meal to express their gratitude properly. I'll make arrangement to gather them all together to really show you their appreciation. Securing the Kowloon Bay track tonight was huge, and you played a major part in it!"

"Aren't you already hosting?" Arabella smiled lightly, gesturing towards the lavish spread before them, "I'm going to burst if I eat any more."
